I don't know about the best but transfer via intermediary service (such as MS Skydrive) worked well for me. Shell interface usually available on desktop Linux but not on iOS where I have to use "app". On a positive side, that approach minimises adverse effects on Apple device. Regards Slav

What's the best way to transfer files (images, media files, etc.) between a Linux machine and an Apple iPad running iOS 7.1?
It should preferably be achieveable from the shell and amenable to scripting.
I've started looking at http://libimobiledevice.org/ and it appears there are utilities available from that project, but I'm yet to find a good howto and I don't know what other options are open and which protocols are available.
Also, I would rather avoid taking any risks that might adversely affect the device.
